This study aims to investigate the “aesthetics of tradition and innovation in the language of Ali Moallem Damghani’s poetry” by examining the linguistic and rhetorical mechanisms that have shaped his unique style and highlighted his position in contemporary Persian poetry. The main research question addresses how Moallem’s poetic language utilizes the aesthetic capacities of both classical and modern linguistic forms, and what role this integration plays in advancing modern Persian poetry. The methodology is based on literary aesthetics and the analysis of linguistic, semantic, and stylistic layers in selected exemplary poems. The study draws on key linguistic and aesthetic theories from both Iranian and Western scholars, including Roman Jakobson, Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, and Mohammad-Reza Shafiei-Kadkani. The findings indicate that the conscious and masterful blending of classical and modern linguistic aesthetics constitutes the central component in creating the aesthetic structure of Moallem’s poetry. By crafting this language, Moallem has not only developed a distinctive and innovative poetic language in the context of the entire history of Persian literature—with inherent aesthetic and literary value—but also a sophisticated and poetically advanced language that transcends automatic or conventional usage, thereby enriching Persian literature and contributing to the advancement of poetic language and poetic innovation in linguistic and rhetorical areas in contemporary Persian poetry.
